| Distichlis
distichophylla is a common native grass, found in saline areas -
especially beside coastal lagoons. The habit is reasonably
distinctive. The stems are prostrate, but typically turn up so that
the upper parts are erect, occasionally branched stems that have the
leaves in two rows widely spreading from the stems. The leaves are
usually up to 7 cm long and a few mm wide, and are evenly spread
along the upper sections of the stems. There are separate male and
female plants. |
